This Ultra-Rare Koenigsegg Agera S, One of Five in Existence, Is For Sale

KOENIGSEGG
People love to fawn over the the 1360-horsepower record-breaking Koenigsegg Agera RS, but Koenigsegg made a sister car that not many people talk about: The Agera S. It's a detuned Agera built for markets without access to E85 gasoline—the fuel the RS needs to make maximum power. Only five were ever built, and this one's for sale.
Welcome to You Must Buy, our daily look at the cars you really should be buying instead of that boring commuter sedan.
The Agera S uses all the same carbon fiber body and chassis pieces as the RS, as well as the same interior. The only difference is, the car's 5.0-liter twin-turbo V8 is tuned for standard 93-octane fuel rather than E85. Power numbers drop significantly, down to "only" 1040 horsepower and 811 lb.-ft. of torque. According to Koenigsegg's site, the S is still capable of over 400 km/h (248 mph).

This particular car is a right-hand drive model, finished in matte blue with a black interior and bare carbon fiber trim. It's currently for sale in Japan by TPE Ltd. via Classic Driver, with just 4550 km (2828 miles) on the clock. There's no price listed, but considering the rarity of the Agera S and exclusivity of the Koenigsegg brand, don't expect it to be affordable.

Transverse Vs Longitudinal Engines: The Pros And Cons

The way in which an engine is orientated can have a huge influence on the rest of a car’s design. Should the car be rear-wheel drive? What size of engine is expected? Are there space issues that could influence which way the engine lies? All these questions have to be answered by the engineers responsible for the car, as the powertrain setup can have a large impact on how the car goes, handles and stops. Looking at front-engined cars, the two possible orientations are longitudinal and transverse, with each having its own benefits and drawbacks that can govern which is chosen for the car at hand. In-light of this engineering decision, here’s a basic guide to the features of each engine layout and which is best for different applications. Transverse engines Transverse engines are mounted perpendicularly to the direction of travel, lying horizontally within the engine bay. This is predominantly used in front-engined, front-wheel drive setups but has also been implemented i...

How Twin-clutch Transmission Works (DSG)

The dual-clutch transmission, also known as the Direct Shift Gearbox (DSG) or twin-clutch transmission, is an automated transmission that can change gears faster than any other geared transmission. Dual clutch transmissions deliver more power and better control than conventional automatic transmission and faster performance than manual transmission. Originally marketed by Volkswagen as the DSG and Audi as the S-Tronic, dual-clutch transmissions are now offered by several automakers, including Ford, Mitsubishi, Smart, Hyundai and Porsche. DRIVING A CAR WITH A TWIN-CLUTCH / DSG TRANSMISSION. Twin-clutch equipped cars do not have a clutch pedal; the clutch is engaged and disengaged automatically. The twin-clutch transmissions bridge uses an automatic-style shift selector with a traditional P-R-N-D or P-R-N-D-S (Sport) shift pattern. In "Drive" or "Sport" mode, the dual-clutch transmission operates as a regular automatic. In "Drive" mode, the transmission...
